Rain or Shine, Jezra Conquers Spartan Races and Strives For Progress

Editor’s Note: Ez Ra Morales has made huge progress in her Spartan journey since she started nearly two years ago. The Vitalified Sports team has been behind her all the way.

Here, Jezra shares her experience, in her own words:

My first Spartan Sprint Race was last November 2021. Wala pang 1 km natapilok na ako. Super pabigat ako sa mga kasama ko dahil hindi ako makalakad ng maayos and more on buhat buhat so ‘di ko malaman kung hanggang saan ‘yung kakayanan ko. Buti nalang Sprint ang kinuha naming race.

The second Spartan, was last September 2022, Super. So “verMUDsa”.

Nilakad lang namin the whole 10 km kasi grabe sobrang at napaka OA ng putik. ‘Di ka makatakbo. Iniwan kami ng mga kasama namin, kaya naki group na lang kami.

Thank you #teamwarehouse! ‘Di ko din masyado maramdaman dito kasi madulas at bumabagyo na din. More on buhatan din kasi delicates na rin.

Third Spartan Race ko is Spartan Stadion. Which is my favorite kasi more on stairs na mas bet ko talaga except sa dulo na naging mala-verMudsa 2.0

This time, I told myself that I need to beat my personal record nung sprint ko. Dahil dito, naiwan ko na ang mga sinabihan kong sabay-sabay kami at mag-videohan. Hindi na ako masyado nakavideo dito dahil magisa lang ako.

Sayang lang dahil, ‘di ko nagawa ang ibang obstacles like, monkey bars kasi madulas, and yung herc hoist masyado ng mabigat (thank you ate girl sa offer maghelp). Then nahulog ako sa multi rigs and nakakainis na spear throw. A total of 4 burpees ang ganap ko dito. Masaya din pala magrace magisa.

Anyway, thank you rin sa mga nag-help sakin sa Hurdle, Inverted Wall, Atlas Carry (sa team achilles na ‘di ko na kinuha sa ground and binigay na ang ball saken) and sa 6ft Wall.

Tipong after ninyo ‘ako matulungan nag-thank you ako and umalis na. Pasensya na po. Hopefully, next time magawa ko na siya mag-isa para ‘di na po nakakahiya mag-pasuyo.

And sana naman po ‘di na ako habulin ng ulan. Second time na akong inulan ako po ba ang malas?

Thanks, Spartan Race Philippines for the experience.

Nakaka Enjoy and nakakagigil din yung mga obstacles na di ko magawa. See you next year na muna at sana medyo lumakas lakas na hehehe. Aroooo!! 💪💪💪
